Greetings Bongomatic. I've just seen your edit summary at Black Note and would appreciate it if you could link me to the corresponding guideline as you obviously have it to hand. Most music-related articles at Wikipedia use allmusic as a source - in my opinion vastly overrated in my opinion - but I gave up fighting losing battles long ago.-- Technopat ( talk) 10:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
(outdent)Thank you for taking the time to reply & pasting link. However, much to my dismay, can find no indication that allmusic is not a reliable source and footnote 6 does not cover it, either:
Moreover, not all coverage in reliable sources constitutes evidence of notability for the purposes of article creation; for example, directories and databases, advertisements, announcements columns, and minor news stories are all examples of coverage that may not actually support notability when examined, despite their existence as reliable sources.
-- Technopat ( talk) 11:24, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bongomatic,
I like the SW reference, and I am here to strongly advise against removal of the Boba Phat article for a number of valid reasons:
You question the notability of Boba Phat, (and yes I have 3rd party links I can reference, albeit the links are nobody of significance, just some YouTube convention attendees referring to him as an A-List Cosplayer, which he is.)
EVERY single reference provided is ACCURATE and expresses his notability among common cosplayers alike as well as a multitude of celebrities. Additionally, this past week alone he was featured in 2 print publications - Long Beach Press Telegram as well as the Daily Titan, along side his numerous online media sources. He is recognized at EVERY Comic Con & Star Wars event. His links are NOT just FLCKR, Facebook & YouTube - there are a myriad of first-rate news sources who additionally address him as notable, including the LA Times, LB Post, Long Beach Press Telegram, SeattlePI, Metromix, Casey Pugh (creator of Vimeo), The Daily Titan, The Craig Ferguson Show, + more.
Additionally, he has been interviewed & will be a feature in Lucasfilm's upcoming Star Wars fan movie, as well as is presently featured in a documentary called Crashing the Con which is available for purchase through Amazon. Boba Phat makes NO MONEY off of this; he was featured simply due to his notability as an underground icon. He is also scheduled to be featured in the next issue of Star Wars Insider as he was interviewed & photographed at the latest Long Beach Comic Con for the article due to his recognizability among the copsplayer scene. Every single reference cited will take you to a link expressing his notability. There should be no issue here whatsoever. As soon as that issue hits stands, it will be referenced here.
If there is anything specific you require - links or photos of the print articles or what not, please advise & I will gladly provide. Thank you for taking the time to address this.
Also, after a response by Vyvyan Basterd, I am adamant about Boba Phat's notoriety; and if you are familiar in any way with the Star Wars, Comics or Cosplayer scene (which it appears as you are based on your "Kaminocana(!)" link, it is very clear that he is a recognized fixture. I have uploaded 3 additional 3rd party media sources to help validate. Additionally when Star Wars Insider & the Lucasfilm movie debuts, there will be no question whatsoever regarding his notability among that scene, albeit a niche scene. I simply ask for you to please review the recent changes & remove the deletion tag in the public spectrum. If you Google Boba Phat (or pimp boba, leisure suit boba, ettc) you will see that besides Wiki, Boba Phat does come up on 7 of the top 10 organic links from independent sources from both media as well as celebrities mentioning that they are excited to have met HIM!
Please reconsider removal of the deletion tag based on what I have just uploaded & until the newest articles/films are released. Also, I noticed Vyvyan Basterd has striked through his recommendation for deletion based on the info I have provided to him. Please consider doing the same.

I see you have made over ten edits to wikipedia on your userpage. Yet you seem so well versed....LOL.

(I hope I'm wrong) Hell In A Bucket ( talk) 04:57, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bongo,
As I am reading more into the way Wikipedia works, I am becoming aware that there appear to be factions for and against "deletionists" (a word that would appear to make sense, but alludes me). Reading Cyclopia. Turquiose, yours, Hell in a Bucket, Drmies and other pages, I see that there is an obvious association, presumably because you have all been on here for some time & have a great knowledge n how things work. I do notice, and respect, that despite opposing views on several issues, there does, in fact, see, to be some "cliquish" behaviors on Wikipedia. Now I understand Wiki is not the end-all-be-all of encyclopedic information, but due to its high optimization, it is a relatively trusted domain for the less internet savvy - of which I was until I began to spend some time on here learning the way things work. I'd like to be more helpful & participate on Wikipedia, and I will take baby steps as I learn.
Usually much of what I am seeking already has a page in Wikipedia, but as times change, so do the importance of topics, hence my creation of the Boba Phat & Miss Clit (now agreeably redirected) page. I do not agree in taking sides for the sake of supporting someone simply because I like them - it is crucial to remain objective in order for Wikipedia to have validity. I was directed by another member to a forum that seems to negate everything Wikipedia is about, and upon review of that site, I have become even more confused. There is much to learn here, and it is evident from your replies to people that you have expertise in the way things work. I aspire to learn quickly, but would also like to inquire as to how you remain neutral, particularly when it is your own article at stake. Despite your dissenting opinion, I obviously believe in the notability of my Boba Phat article, and it appears as though a number of other do as well. I, however, do not know all of the WP:??? sites to cite as references. All I can do is stick by my guns as to (to me) his clear-cut notability based on media coverage & recognition among the niche in which he is popular.
Please, if you have time, could you direct me to any particular list of topics - the most pertinent ten, for example - that may help me to become a better Wikipedia participant? If you do not have time, I fully understand, however I thought it best to ask an obvious expert because I dislike sects and it appears that you and Hell in a Bucket (to whom I am going to send this same message) may be able to teach me something worthwhile and thus permit me to be more helpful to Wikipedia in general.

I'm not sure where you're going with this line of inquiry with Dr. Press. Howard Press' legal skirmishes are irrelevant to the article at hand (which I agree does not meet notability requirements). WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 13:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll collect the "initials", and write the descriptions, and you help find the right references and citations to assure "notability" and relevance to WIKI.
Drsjpdc ( talk) 15:37, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
User Drsjpdc has completely withdrawn the article on Howard Press, and you have correctly unblanked it. Now he is attempting to re-withdraw it.
The behavior of Drsjpdc is unacceptable. We have already seen his use of personal attacks, non-neutrality, unverifiable claims, opinionating, twisting facts, and nonstop ranting and raving. However, his most recent attempt to blank an article that was the collaboration of a number of authors is totally inappropriate. The article survived two AfD decisions and Drsjpdc himself was the most vocal in favor of keeping it! Many contributors spent a good amount of time and effort to research and tell the story with facts and verifiable citations. It is a shame that one individual who obviously has a COI is determined to sidestep Wikipedia policy for his own personal benefit or ego.
Drsjpdc should be blocked and banned from Wikipedia, as he has proven he is incapable of writing neutrally, with verifiable facts, and showing courtesy to other contributors. Meanwhile, he is still capable of endlessly blanking or heavily changing this article (and many other articles, I fear) to conform to whatever views he wants to promote. Please let me know what actions can be taken.

During the close of the bong cooler AFD I misinterpreted the page history and was under the impression that you had actually moved the article away from the original location during the discussion before voting to redirect anyway. I found the page move confusing when I was closing and left an acerbic comment wrongly attributing the original page move to you. It has been pointed out to me that this was unfair and incorrect and having rechecked I absolutely agree that this is correct. I have fixed the AFD to reflect the reality and would like to apologise to you for any offence that my comment may have caused. My only defence is that page moving during an AFD is confusing and I was confused enough not to appreciate the full facts when I acted but this is a poor excuse. I accept I should have taken more care and am sorry for the comment. Spartaz Humbug! 17:51, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

First of all, thanks for referencing Schwa (restaurant). I certainly appreciate that. However, in the future I kindly ask that leave a page in incubation until it is thoroughly improved. The goal of the project is not just to add some references to prove notability and then move on, but rather to make quality articles about these allegedly hopeless topics.
"Reference dumping" is useful to editors, but doesn't really help readers any. A reader coming across the Schwa stub isn't going to learn anything they didn't already know, most likely; and an editor would have been more likely to improve it if it had stayed in incubation rather than in mainspace.
Of course there was nothing wrong with moving it rule wise, and I can't force you not to in the future. I am just saying it is more useful to the incubation project, Wikipedia, and the illusionist POV to produce quality articles than minimalist stubs in the long run. Thanks for your consideration, ThaddeusB ( talk) 17:04, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
P.S. Thanks for helping "cleanup" after me on these articles. As you may have seen, Schwa is heading to the mainpage shortly via DYK. I imagine Carlson isn't far behind after I make a few more changes. :) -- ThaddeusB ( talk) 03:59, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I have declined the CSD for Giles Vickers Jones as there was a small amount of notability asserted, albeit unreferenced. Under the rules of WP:CSD A7, if an article makes any credible assertion of notability, it is not a candidate for speedy deletion, and should be dealt with through improvement, PROD or AFD.

(I hope I'm wrong) Hell In A Bucket ( talk) 04:57, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bongo,
As I am reading more into the way Wikipedia works, I am becoming aware that there appear to be factions for and against "deletionists" (a word that would appear to make sense, but alludes me). Reading Cyclopia. Turquiose, yours, Hell in a Bucket, Drmies and other pages, I see that there is an obvious association, presumably because you have all been on here for some time & have a great knowledge n how things work. I do notice, and respect, that despite opposing views on several issues, there does, in fact, see, to be some "cliquish" behaviors on Wikipedia. Now I understand Wiki is not the end-all-be-all of encyclopedic information, but due to its high optimization, it is a relatively trusted domain for the less internet savvy - of which I was until I began to spend some time on here learning the way things work. I'd like to be more helpful & participate on Wikipedia, and I will take baby steps as I learn.
Usually much of what I am seeking already has a page in Wikipedia, but as times change, so do the importance of topics, hence my creation of the Boba Phat & Miss Clit (now agreeably redirected) page. I do not agree in taking sides for the sake of supporting someone simply because I like them - it is crucial to remain objective in order for Wikipedia to have validity. I was directed by another member to a forum that seems to negate everything Wikipedia is about, and upon review of that site, I have become even more confused. There is much to learn here, and it is evident from your replies to people that you have expertise in the way things work. I aspire to learn quickly, but would also like to inquire as to how you remain neutral, particularly when it is your own article at stake. Despite your dissenting opinion, I obviously believe in the notability of my Boba Phat article, and it appears as though a number of other do as well. I, however, do not know all of the WP:??? sites to cite as references. All I can do is stick by my guns as to (to me) his clear-cut notability based on media coverage & recognition among the niche in which he is popular.
Please, if you have time, could you direct me to any particular list of topics - the most pertinent ten, for example - that may help me to become a better Wikipedia participant? If you do not have time, I fully understand, however I thought it best to ask an obvious expert because I dislike sects and it appears that you and Hell in a Bucket (to whom I am going to send this same message) may be able to teach me something worthwhile and thus permit me to be more helpful to Wikipedia in general.

R u there , Bongo? I need to discuss about "Ningombam Bupenda Meitei" Hamprey ( talk) 09:28, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
But , i cant understand why did u do that ? I feel a bit hurt. Btw,the person is still living n the sources of information r from the newspapers whose names r mentioned but I also don't know how to link the sources so called "reliable sources". Before u bring this notice of getting deleted , some edited the article in a funny manner. Hamprey ( talk) 09:45, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Well,internet has come late in India n the reports in the newspapers can't be linked through internet since those newspapers in some Indian states hav gone online almost after 2004 n the news here r related to before that but there is a hard copy n TV interviews for the article. Hamprey ( talk) 09:50, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
if u feel that the article stands unworthy , then plz do let me know ,I will instead remove the article but I wish to see some logic n faith in the hard copy news in newspapers n TV channels in some remote places of the world which were taken place a long back. Hamprey ( talk) 09:52, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Well, the reference related to the news from newspapers n TV channels r there n also a book of Havard publication is also there to talk about "Ningombam" in the article. Hamprey ( talk) 10:01, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, speeded up is normally used in British English."Speedied" is wat i hav been made to hear here only. English to me means British English which i believe is the mother of all other evolved English. Hamprey ( talk) 09:48, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Please what I wrote in the discussion of that article. I think that it needs to be split into two articles. I'm sure that it is dealing with two different people of the same name.-- Geoffman13 ( talk) 20:00, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure where you're going with this line of inquiry with Dr. Press. Howard Press' legal skirmishes are irrelevant to the article at hand (which I agree does not meet notability requirements). WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 13:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, that was clear as mud.... no entiendo. And, even assuming it were the same Howard Press, WikiDan is right. Drsjpdc ( talk) 15:35, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
Interested in collaborating on this?
I'll collect the "initials", and write the descriptions, and you help find the right references and citations to assure "notability" and relevance to WIKI.
Drsjpdc ( talk) 15:37, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
User Drsjpdc has completely withdrawn the article on Howard Press, and you have correctly unblanked it. Now he is attempting to re-withdraw it.
The behavior of Drsjpdc is unacceptable. We have already seen his use of personal attacks, non-neutrality, unverifiable claims, opinionating, twisting facts, and nonstop ranting and raving. However, his most recent attempt to blank an article that was the collaboration of a number of authors is totally inappropriate. The article survived two AfD decisions and Drsjpdc himself was the most vocal in favor of keeping it! Many contributors spent a good amount of time and effort to research and tell the story with facts and verifiable citations. It is a shame that one individual who obviously has a COI is determined to sidestep Wikipedia policy for his own personal benefit or ego.
Drsjpdc should be blocked and banned from Wikipedia, as he has proven he is incapable of writing neutrally, with verifiable facts, and showing courtesy to other contributors. Meanwhile, he is still capable of endlessly blanking or heavily changing this article (and many other articles, I fear) to conform to whatever views he wants to promote. Please let me know what actions can be taken.
If you are at all interested in the subject of sustained-release medication, I offer to write new articles and welcome your input.-- Rikatazz ( talk) 22:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Come on! That article was the FIRST one I have written, and I have several others that have passed muster. I had no idea this would cause such damage, and I have attacked NO ONE.

Why did you delete the material about the AIG bonus payments controversy? Others considered it a scandal. It was sourced. Shouldn't you have discussed this deletion first? 24.23.60.221 ( talk) 03:19, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Timothy Geithner was subject to several scandals, all of which you deleted without discussion. Please read Confirmations of Barack Obama's Cabinet. You missed these perhaps, but these are all real scandals. Not paying taxes is a felony. Not only was his appointment a scandal, it was a scandal that any president would appoint a confessed tax cheat to head the IRS.

As you might remember I'd been taking part in various respects in the deleted content matter. Although I took a step back, as discussions became splintered or clouded, I have glanced around at it since. From that, I learnt of the userfication and your stated intention to 'release them to mainspace'. I wondered if you might be willing to reply to explain what you meant by that quoted part? If you'd rather not, that's perfectly okay. Thank you. – Whitehorse1 02:07, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

During the close of the bong cooler AFD I misinterpreted the page history and was under the impression that you had actually moved the article away from the original location during the discussion before voting to redirect anyway. I found the page move confusing when I was closing and left an acerbic comment wrongly attributing the original page move to you. It has been pointed out to me that this was unfair and incorrect and having rechecked I absolutely agree that this is correct. I have fixed the AFD to reflect the reality and would like to apologise to you for any offence that my comment may have caused. My only defence is that page moving during an AFD is confusing and I was confused enough not to appreciate the full facts when I acted but this is a poor excuse. I accept I should have taken more care and am sorry for the comment. Spartaz Humbug! 17:51, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

First of all, thanks for referencing Schwa (restaurant). I certainly appreciate that. However, in the future I kindly ask that leave a page in incubation until it is thoroughly improved. The goal of the project is not just to add some references to prove notability and then move on, but rather to make quality articles about these allegedly hopeless topics.
"Reference dumping" is useful to editors, but doesn't really help readers any. A reader coming across the Schwa stub isn't going to learn anything they didn't already know, most likely; and an editor would have been more likely to improve it if it had stayed in incubation rather than in mainspace.
Of course there was nothing wrong with moving it rule wise, and I can't force you not to in the future. I am just saying it is more useful to the incubation project, Wikipedia, and the illusionist POV to produce quality articles than minimalist stubs in the long run. Thanks for your consideration, ThaddeusB ( talk) 17:04, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
P.S. Thanks for helping "cleanup" after me on these articles. As you may have seen, Schwa is heading to the mainpage shortly via DYK. I imagine Carlson isn't far behind after I make a few more changes. :) -- ThaddeusB ( talk) 03:59, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I have declined the CSD for Giles Vickers Jones as there was a small amount of notability asserted, albeit unreferenced. Under the rules of WP:CSD A7, if an article makes any credible assertion of notability, it is not a candidate for speedy deletion, and should be dealt with through improvement, PROD or AFD. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Stephen! Coming... 17:43, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Prerit2131 ( talk) 05:17, 2 December 2009 (UTC) sir, my edit on gcet was not promotional. i am a respected writer for some of the most reliable newspapers. all that i wrote was referenced and if you think that's promotional than i can argue that most of the stuff about any college is promotional. everything was referenced. i never write anything without reference and i am dead honest on that. if you don't agree come with me to india and i can prove you in person.
What's meant by the refimprove tag that you added to the Vibraphone page? Without some specific information to indicate where the problems are it's pretty difficult to tell what should be changed to address your concerns. Tpvibes ( talk) 02:24, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Unable to resist bacon's temptations, rogue editors have kicked off the Bacon Challenge 2010 before the New Year even starts! This is a fun and collegial event and all are welcome. There are many non-pork articles for editors who enjoy some sizzle, but object to or don't like messing with pig products. This year's event also includes a Bacon WikiCup 2010 for those who may want to keep score and enjoy engaging in friendly competition. Given the critical importance of this subject matter, I know you will want to participate, so remember to sign up today and get started A.S.A.P. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 19:50, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Bongo. I think your comments (most recently at WP:FEED) and actions regarding my activities have at this point become a little bothersome and quite frankly border on violation of WP:HOUND. Please desist, or like you once told me, cut it out. There will be times when I solicit your extensive editing experience and knowledge, but please refrain from making unsolicited comments and pushing your own views of what is or isn't appropriate for the project.
